ABOUT THE STORY

Tennessee Williams' classic "THE GLASS MENAGERIE" is a story of family and the fragility of memory - an epic play that is sure to entrance audiences. 

Amanda Wingfield, the faded Southern Belle who is patterned after Williams’ own mother, is desperate to marry off ailing daughter Laura and worries about wayward son Tom. 

Saddled with the obligations left to him by his absent father, Tom, who also acts as the play’s narrator, arranges for an acquaintance, a gentleman caller, to pay a visit to Laura and sets off not only her own, but her mother’s hopes for a romantic future. 

This memory play is set in St. Louis during the Great Depression and is widely considered to be one of the most significant plays of the 20th century!
